Mathematics of Insulin Dosing: A Comprehensive Guide

In this video, we delve deep into the mathematics behind insulin dosing, a critical aspect of diabetes management. From the early days of insulin discovery by Banting and Best to modernday practices, the question remains: "How much to give?"

Topics Covered:

1 Insulin use in Outpatient Type 2 diabetes
2 Insulin use in Outpatient Type 1 Diabetes
3 Insulin use in Inpatient Diabetes in ICU
4 Insulin use in Inpatient diabetes in Ward

Key Formulas Discussed:

1 Determining which insulin to use based on FPG and HbA1c.
2 Calculating basal insulin doses using weightbased methods and the0 HolmanTurner formula.
3 Bolus insulin calculations for postmeal glucose management.
4 Total insulin dosing for Type 1 diabetes using the AIM study/Davidson formula.
5 Basal and bolus dosing cycles for Type 1 diabetes.
6 Insulin infusion dosing and transitioning from infusion to basalbolus insulin in inpatient settings.
7 The LakhaniKumar formula for inpatient diabetes in wards.

By the end of this video, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of the mathematical principles behind insulin dosing, empowering you to make informed decisions in diabetes care.
